Why are the parents not talking to the media?
<snipped> Parents have sacrificed their lives for their children for nothing more than that is what parents do.
There are many atrocities....my mother was 'adopted out' as a newborn because a government, the US government, determined that 'Indians' weren't suitable parents and 'Christians' made better parents. My father's mother, at age 4, was taken away from her tribal family, again by the US government, and sent to a 'Christian' family where she became nothing more than 'live-in' help. She didn't have much schooling but she was away from those 'heathen' Indians [according to those who placed her]. Both my mother and grandmother never saw their parents or family again.
The one thing that I learned from both of these women is compassion; they went through the pain and the sorrow but they had compassion for others. I have compassion for Deborah Bradley and Jeremy Irwin. I don't see, with what has been released, any evidence that says they are guilty. They have lost their daughter, in a matter that is not verifiable now. They are, in their way, doing what they have to do for their other children. They still are in contact with LE and there is still media.
I have compassion for them because it is something that has been impressed upon me from the time I was a small girl, by two women who weren't shown compassion by their government or in my grandmother's case, by the people who were supposed to care for her.
